That&#8217;s right, game fans, <a title=\"Ubisoft\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/11845-Ubisoft\">Ubisoft<\/a> has delayed the <a title=\"Far Cry 3\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/far-cry-3-about\">Far Cry 3<\/a> launch from its original September release to November in Europe (and here) and December in America. Why? Because they can. And because everybody else is doing it, anyway. <em>Also<\/em> because the game apparently needs more work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience,\u201d said Dan Hay, producer at Ubisoft. \u201cFar Cry 3 is a huge offering and we want every element of this insane, action-packed adventure to be of the highest possible quality for the players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Which is basically corporate-speak for &#8220;EVERYTHING IS BROKEN \\D:\/&#8221;. Maybe.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the delay frees up your September gaming budget for Borderlands 2 and gives you time for organise your malaria shots &#8211; so it&#8217;s not a total disaster.<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s official new launch is on 29 November, or at least until it&#8217;s delayed again.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GKLNXBpgBjY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related Articles<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/39065-far-cry-3-features-4-player-co-op-campaign.html\">Far Cry 3 features 4-player co-op campaign<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/38666-far-cry-3-pre-e3-trailer-prepares-you-for-insanity.html\">Far Cry 3 pre-E3 trailer prepares you for insanity<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/40052-wii-u-more-powerful-than-360-and-ps3-crytek.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Wii U more powerful than 360 and PS3 \u2013 Crytek<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/40084-homefront-2-is-being-treated-as-a-new-ip.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Homefront 2 is being treated as a new IP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We\u2019re taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience,&#8221; says Ubisoft<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":40293,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,1922,2365,2219],"class_list":["post-40242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-delay","tag-far-cry-3","tag-megarom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40242"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40242\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40297,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40242\/revisions\/40297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
